Market food isn’t too unhealthy

But then again, I shop at that lovely healthy one on campus that sells organic foods/biodegradable products. Hooray Peabody. The freshmen next year will be so spoiled >.>

When it comes to market food, I usually get either a) Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup (or some variation) or b) one of Annie Chun’s prepackaged meals. Now, Annie Chun’s meals are decent if made correctly. I just usually cook them 1/2-1 minute longer than recommended, since I like my noodles soft and not still bent into the packaged shape. For the Noodle Bowls I usually get the Kung Pao noodles because it’s remotely spicy. Teriyaki is second, and the Pad Thai is just disappointing after having real pad Thai.

For the Soup Bowls I’ve tried the Miso Soup and liked it, but real miso soup is just so much better. After watching part of the No Reservations Korea episode yesterday, I was in the mood for Korean food :) So I got the Korean Kimchi soup. Hm. Definitely prefer real kimchee as a side with bibimbap. Ooh… I want real Korean food so bad right now.

I’ve always really liked Annie Chun’s Spicy Szechuan flavored Noodle Express meals (enough to have it 3 times this week, my meal schedules were so off that I had to live off of market food). But after seeing Tony trying authentic Szechuan noodles (was this in the Singapore episode or the Asia special??), I want to try them.so.bad. Why do you torture me so, dear Tony?! =(

Oh, Honest Tea’s First Nation Peppermint is soo refreshingly good *__* So minty! I love those teas. Bad for my teeth (been bleaching them sporadically), but still love them. And I was very saddened to today to see that the market was all out of Fage Total yogurt! Tried the cherry and honey ones just once each, but the peach is the best. They give you just the right amount of peach to stir in with the yogurt. The peach is so sweet and the yogurt itself is more tangy than the plain yogurts I’ve had. So, mixed together and you’ve got bliss ♥ Simply the best yogurt IMHO. It was hard to have a bad day after having this little cup of heaven. I was so glad that I discovered it after coming here, and even more glad that I could buy it using meal money. Because $2+ per small cup of yogurt would make me penniless in no time.

But we all know that Vandy loves to jack up the prices. It’s over $2 for a bottle of POM (the Pomegranate Peach Passion is so yummy~), but at Publix it’s 2 bottles for $4. Maybe I need to stock up… and maybe I should get my mom into the Fage Total yogurt so she can order in bulk ^__^

Ah, food~~ In Japanese today we were talking about the department stores, and spent a lot of time talking about the food department in the basement floor (デパチカ). Can’t wait to go and experience all those yummy desserts she was talking about~!!
